This trusted practitioner resource and widely adopted text helps the busy clinician find the right psychiatric diagnosis and avoid the many pitfalls that lead to errors. Covering every disorder routinely encountered in clinical practice, Allen Frances provides the ICD-9-CM codes and (where feasible) ICD-10-CM codes required for billing, a useful screening question, a descriptive prototype, diagnostic tips, and other disorders that must be ruled out. Frances was instrumental in the development of past editions of DSM and provides helpful cautions on questionable aspects of DSM-5. An index of common presenting symptoms lists possible diagnoses that must be considered for each. The Appendix (which can also be accessed at the companion website) features a Crosswalk to ICD-10-CM codes plus links to coding resources.

An excellent antidote to over diagnosis. Please be advised this is a professional book. Members of the public looking for answers to distressing experiences will not find solutions. It is aimed at clinicians mostly, and perhaps public policy makers. I've been a Clinical Psychologist for nearly 24 years, and have observed that everything has become a disease, which in turn has a drug specific treatment. Medication is helpful some of the time, as does reassurance that a situation is a reasonable response to life stressors. Dr. Frances makes this point well. To my fellow clinicians bewildered by DSM 5, I recommend you read this book, and place it on the shelf next to DSM 4 or 5, and your ICD 10 code book.
With all the hoopla and worries about dsm 5, its no wonder a book like this was made. It makes understanding all the changes in DSM 5 easier. This is a must have for any clinician, whether they are new to the field or a professional. A must have. I think in time the price of this will go up becuase of its wide use.
The DSM 5 has generated lots of emotion, fears and frustation. ALLEN FRANCES, MD., has booted the Boogey-Man out! The DSM 5 is made easy with this handbook. I have been to DSM 5 workshops and this book leaves those in the dust. You will not be disappointed.
This book is pretty good. It's quite slender, really a handbook for the clinician. It is very influenced by the author's biases, which he has made known in numerous newspaper articles and the like. I was hoping for more depth and exploration of the topics. The author does have significant clinical wisdom, and does a good job of steering the clinician through recent diagnostic changes and debates to a thoughtful diagnosis.
Handy-dandy to have with you between sessions. It gives the most down-to-earth, practical, and concise suggestions for diagnosis, differentiation, and important considerations for transitioning between DSM IV-TR to DSM 5.
The book is full with author's experience and personal opinions. The anti DSM5 flavor of the book is very clear and pronounced in many areas, up to stating some points not present in published DSM5. The author may pose his opinions as a substitute to DSM5 in some areas. But generally it is a very deep critique to DSM5 from an expert, but from a personal point of view, without good evidence exploring.
Getting masters in mental health counseling and this is very helpful as a guide to me tal disorders. Easy to read and understand.
Frances adds a lot of information by emphasizing some important facts which were missing in the DSM-5. A quick and handy guide to review mental disorders. Great addition to any library!
